That variable was introduced in VFP8, IIRC. This requires a two-pass process, to count the total number of pages. In previous versions, the workaround is to do the two-pass process yourself. In the first pass, you output the report to a file, and store the number of pages - _pageno, I believe - to a variable. In the second pass, you print the report proper, with this variable.
